Playback speed: [1.3x]
Reduce to 1x during music? [✔️] 
 @92f75699 @916a3200 @a1e52b69 Yes, we talked a lot about it with the chapters spec.  The discussion was around marking a chapter as 1x speed.  There was pushback on it, but I don't remember the exact reason. Maybe abuse or overuse? 
 @fce803cc @92f75699 @916a3200 yeah I can easily see advertising getting put on 1x speed too.
Although then you could have a setting in the app to ignore automatic speed adjustments for each show. 
 @fce803cc @92f75699 @916a3200 @a1e52b69 I would totally abuse that feature. 
 @6a75920f @fce803cc @916a3200 @a1e52b69 It's the hierarchy for all podcast apps (or should be)

1. Respect the user
2. Respect the creator
3. Respect those who pay for it (if not #1 or #2)
4. Respect the network (the pipes/tubes/services/directories)

The creator's wishes should come second to the user's wishes in an ideal world.

Change speed for remote items? [✔️] 
 @0bbfb2de @916a3200 @a1e52b69 “Change speed automatically within episodes?”

No human needs to know what a remote item is
